Andrew Collette is a physicist-turned-software leader with 18 years of experience building scientific Python tools, data services, and visualization integrations. Currently VP of Product Engineering at Enthought in Cambridge, he has led architecture and execution across science-oriented Python platforms and delivery services while scaling product engineering teams. He founded Heliosphere Research, created a widely used Advanced Plotting Toolkit for bridging Python visualization with LabVIEW, and shepherded a scientific data viewer into acquisition by the HDF Group. His background as a hands-on research scientist—helping build a NASA-funded hypervelocity dust accelerator and publishing experimental results—gives him uncommon depth in instrument-driven, data-centric engineering. Known for turning academic research needs into production software, he blends technical leadership, entrepreneurship, and domain expertise in plasma and high-temperature physics.
